Beach umbrellas and chaise lounges free of charge for at least the next three years to help tourism, the industry hit hardest by the coronavirus - this is what the Bulgarian Hotel and Restaurant Association is demanding of the government.
They are proposing that the government remit concession fees for beach concessionaires. Revenues from umbrella and chaise lounge fees amount to 4 million euro a year, or 0.1% of the entire tourist sector, but the high cost of the service is jeopardizing revenues amounting to 4 billion euro.
